It’s Apple so security mechanisms are probably implemented at the hardware level. Microsoft’s thing was dumb because it was just an unencrypted SQLite database that any program could just read.
I also love how outfits like Tom’s Hardware are acting like the update to require Windows Hello authentication before using Recall is privacy enhancing. At least in the US, if a biometric is all that is between a state-level actor and your encrypted data, the biometric mechanism isn’t constitutionally protected according to current precedent - passwords are (though there may be subsequent obstruction charges in the event of refusal to comply with a password request).
